Hey everyone. Mako here.

[ The voice clips in just before the actual video appears for reasons that become clear in a moment: Mako steps back from where he's clearly set the Omni on a table to record what looks like a garage sale right outside the Raccoon Room.

A long table absolutely covered in little bits and baubles glints in the sun. In the center of everything sits Fritter the raccoon, Wu's omen, looking contrite and also sort of like she would like to leave. Her little ears are back and her tiny arms are crossed.

Scowling, Mako steps back to stand in front of the table, crossing his arms to match Fritter. ]

Some of you might have noticed some stuff going missing in the last couple months.

[ A pause. Mako glances back at Fritter, who huffs at him and holds up a winking blue heart-shaped gem on a sparkling chain. That... sure looks important. ]

Can't promise that what you lost is here, but there's a good chance it is. We'll be out here all day.

I'm sorry! [ Wu's voice pipes up from behind the camera ] It's my fault, really.

[ He turns the Omni around at a very selfie angle, pouting at the camera ]

I'm sorry that Fritter stole your stuff, it wasn't her fault! It was mine. Corruption just got me! I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I was mean to so many of you. Shiro, I'm sorry for making fun of your hair; Jessica, I'm sorry for throwing you out of the Raccoon Room. Manabu, I'm really sorry that I made you get a tattoo. [ Big grimace there ] I mean, I still think it looks great on you—

[ Mako clears his throat and Wu wrinkles his nose ] but that's not the point! I'm sorry for all of it. I'm better now! No more corruption here, no sir.

[ A beat. Mako narrows his eyes even more.]

Uh, please come get your stuff!

(( ooc: absolutely feel free to assume your character's random trinkets and stuff is here even if it wasn't called out in the post! Fritter is a monster. Also feel free to respond in action if anyone wants to wander by and/or come get their stolen stuff! ))

[The feed opens up and Ruby looks absolutely devastated.]

Oh my gosh, Fritter. How could you! You stole and ate part of Ange's engagement ring!?

[There's a dramatic point toward the table-]

[-There's a big blue half eaten ring pop on the table and it takes Ruby a minute before she calms down.]

Oh wait. I gave her a red one.

Never mind. Keep doing your thing, Fritter.

Her what?!

Ruby! Ruby! You're engaged? How dare you not tell me! And you accuse Fritter-- Ange lost a ring and you made me think-- Ruby!!

Her ring!

Wu- I was going to tell you but you guys have been so busy! And I was waiting for the right time!

Look- It looked a lot like ring, okay!?

I was doing my best!

CONGRATULATIONS!

[ It's loud. Really loud. It might break up over the speaker of the Omni ]

Congrats, congrats, congrats, Ruby! When are you going to get married? Are you going to do the ritual? Wait-- did you already do the ritual? [ His wedding was a whirlwind, he can't remember it all! ]

Thank you!

[Ruby doesn't seem to mind, but there might be the faint whine of a dog in the background on her end.]

We're still working on a date and all that- There are some things we kind of want to figure out before we do that.

We already did the ritual- But I guess I started calling Ange my wife and she said I had to ask to marry her. ...So I did! And I gave her a ring pop as an engagement ring because it's what I had with me at the time.

I think she really liekd it.

[ Over Wu's shoulder: ]

Congrats, Ruby. I bet she did. You get her a real ring after that?

Thanks, Mako! You guys kind of inspired me to take the step. Not going to lie there.

I'm working on making something honestly. Need to do something special, you know?

[ Wu squeals excitedly ]

Yes! Yes, oh, that's so beautiful, Ruby! I'm glad me and this big lug [ He elbows Mako in lightly in the gut ] could help get you there!

You're making her her ring?!

[She beams herself. Ruby was normally pretty excitable but Wu's enthusiasm was just contagious.]

Well the two of you do a lot for this place. Mako keeps everyone safe and Wu you provide a lot of smiles in a place that isn't always the friendliest. And you both do it here together. That's just plain old amazing.

It's something I want to be able to do with Ange.

[That smile turns into something a touch more confident.]

I think so, yeah I've made plenty of weapons before so I feel like making this is the right touch. ...I don't know if making a gem out of like my cold blood is a good idea or not though.

...Do you think that's a good idea or is it a little creepy?

It's a good idea.

[ Mako says without hesitation, leaning into Wu's arm instead of trying to shove him away. ]

Coldblood's powerful, right? You want to give her something useful, and that's useful. More special than just some stone you'd use for currency.

I think it's nice! I bet she'll like that. It's a little part of you, even if it is... your blood. But like Mako said, it could be useful, a part of you could always be there, protecting her.

[ He sighs happily ]

It is what this place needs. I'm glad we can offer it, but it really is everyone. We just made the place, and everyone comes and-- oh! Are you going to have a wedding?!
